The research included a single case study of qualitative character that followed a constructive and abductive research approach. The empirical data consisted of ten semi-structured interviews at the case organization. The main theoretical framework used was literature within organizational culture, generational diversity and work experience. Additionally, the study drew upon the theory of organizational culture and the existing, although limited research on the interaction between generational diversity and work experience. (Less)
